*ASIS&T 80th Annual Meeting - Proposed Pre-Conference Workshop*

Washington D.C. (Crystal City, Virginia), USA | Oct. 27-Nov 1, 2017

Twenty seventeen (2017) is a special year for the Association for
Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) as we are reaching an 80-year
milestone of our establishment. The theme of ASIS&T 2017 is focused on the
diverse ways in which people from different backgrounds, cultures, and
disciplines forge connections with each other, discover and use
information, and engage with technology. The ASIS&T Annual Meeting is a
premier, peer-reviewed international conference that gathers scholars and
practitioners from around the globe to share research, innovations, and
insights regarding how information and technology mediate the creation and
use of knowledge within and across cultures and enhance lives.

*中国信息概念研究小**组*

Central focus for the workshop panels are the development of the Chinese
information concept and its manifestation in documentation and library
science, information science, and information philosophy. Some researchers
of note (not intending to be exclusive in any way) include QIAN XUESEN,
ZHONG YIXIN, WU KUN, and YAN XUESHAN, among others. Some background works
(again, not exclusive):

Under the sponsorship of ASIS&T’s Special Interest Group on the History and
Foundations of Information Science, we are looking for panelists to
contribute to a day of workshops in a pre-conference setting.  Proposals
should be written in English (300-500 words) describing your scholarly
interest and intention to attend at least the pre-conference event if your
proposal is accepted.  There is no support for fees, accommodations, or
travel—all costs are the responsibility of attendee-panelists.  Scholars
are encouraged to make submissions to the main Annual Meeting proceedings
as well.
